April 6 starting 8am @ Tetem

In 2010 Rafaël Rozendaal organised the first Bring Your Own Beamer in Berlin. An event where artists and other creative people bring their own beamer, to make a one night exposition with a broad range of visual works.

This concept spread all over the globe from New York to Seoul, from Utrecht to Melbourne. We thought is was time to organise a BYOB in Twente to discover what is being made in the area.

That's why on april 6 from 8am we're organising BYOB Twente in the "Tetum kunstruimte". It will also function as closing event of Rafaëls expo.
Everyone can participate for free and you're free to bring any type of work as long you can project it with a beamer.

VJ sets, Kinect installations, photo series or homevideo's, if you want to show we'll give you a piece of wall and a power socket form you beamer.
To keep it approriate for everyone we're not allowing any work containing pornography, racism etc and will remove those works.

If you want to participate you can sign on right here on the site. We'll supply you with all the information you'll need.

For non participants the entry fee is 3 euros, for this money you'll get three tokens which you can give to works you like. At the end of the night all participant can exchange their collected tokens for a euro a piece, so you can financially support you're favorite work.
Also you can use your BYOB to get in the Basic Grooves party in Atak for a reduced price.

Get in to Basic Grooves for €9 with your BYOB ticket

We realise that after a night of cool visuals and obscure beamerart you don't want to go home just yet. That's why we made Basic Grooves in Atak our official after pary!
With your BYOB ticket you can get in Basic Grooves for €9 to party till the early hours. They have an insane line up with Secret Cinema, Bas Amro, Kikkerdril & Jay minimal, Fizz and Sjekster.

Are your a VJ and a BYOB participant? Then we've got something for you!

If the reduced price wasn't already an excellent reason to go to Atak. Basic Grooves also gave the chance to bring some VJ's for a VJ battle. So if you want to show your VJ skills after BYOB in Atak you can let us know in the sign up form.
There are some rules like you have to send us a showreel and your work has to fit the style of Basic Grooves, but will let you know as soon as we sorted it out.
But if you're chosen you can show you're work in Tetem and Atak on the same night!

Tetem kunstruimte

BYOB Twente will be held in the TETEM kunstruimte. TETEM is a place and podium for the creation, analysation and presentation for arts.
So it's a great place for BYOB.
